Bilder Jean-François de Neufforge (1714–1791) – Set of 2 Architectural Plates – Plan and Elevation – Engravings

Beskrivning

This set of two antique architectural engravings by Jean-François de Neufforge presents a detailed study of a classical portico, including both the plan and elevation. Taken from his seminal work Recueil Élémentaire d’Architecture, published in Paris in 1770, these plates exemplify the rigorous symmetry and measured proportions that define Enlightenment-era neoclassicism. The designs offer insight into structural organization and ornamental detail, intended for use by architects and draughtsmen in the construction of refined civic and domestic buildings.

Neufforge's Recueil is one of the most influential architectural pattern books of the 18th century, comprising hundreds of plates that illustrate the principles of classical and contemporary architecture. His work aimed to codify architectural knowledge through precise, reproducible engravings, contributing significantly to the standardization of architectural education and practice across Europe.
